Tourist Corridor Accidents in Orlando
Roadways like Universal Blvd are known for their heavy vehicle and pedestrian activity, especially near major hotels and attractions. Car accidents in this part of Orlando often involve out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with the area, as well as frequent stops, sudden lane changes, and traffic congestion—factors that significantly raise the risk of collisions.
